Any one add cooling seats to there car?

[Gsragtop]

Just wondering if anyone has added the cooling front seats to a car that did not come from the factory with the option? If so how hard of a swap is it? Anyone know if the wiring is there?

I have a 2010 3.8, and it seems I would need to find a 2010 V8 with Tech package, or a 2011-12 V8..


Reading the forums it Seems that the Coupe guys are a little more "hands on" then the Sedan guys, i'm guessing its an age thing but I always like to get my hands dirty..lol

I don't see that a cooled driver's seat would be a huge hassle but these were never available to my knowledge with a cooled passenger seat so wiring and seat availability may be an issue.

Really?? It was drivers side only?? I honestly had no idea. Why?? I just assumed it would be both.

The US version had several features removed to allow for cost-cutting. I imagine Hyundai US wanted to keep the price lower to fit the US market.

Power trunk and cooled passenger seats are options I am still pondering retrofitting in my 1st gen.
To do cooled seats you not only need a non-US passenger seat, but also need the center console button and (assuming) the wiring to connect it all together.

We need to find someone overseas that can get used parts.
